  Today's episode is brought to you by Camp GLP.

  It's an amazing opportunity to come hang out with me with our awesome Good Life project team, a lineup of inspiring teachers from art to life to work, and a community of almost impossibly friendly grown up campers from literally all over the world as we take over a beautiful summer camp for three and a half days of workshops and activities that fill your noggin with ideas and strategies for life and create the type of friendships and stories you thought you pretty much left behind decades ago.

  It's all happening at the end of August, just about 90 minutes from New York City, and more than half the spots are already gone, so be sure to grab your spot quickly.

  Hey there, it's Jonathan with today's Good Life Project riff.

• 01:03

  I'm fresh back from a bit of time out in the mountains in western Canada.

• 01:09

  So back settling into New York, and I thought it might be fun to kind of go through and share a question from a listener and share my thoughts on that today.

• 01:20

  This question came in and I'm going to kind of paraphrase it a bit, but it came from a listener who is married in the middle years of his life and wants to have what he calls a fairly sustainable path for growth.

• 01:37

  And let me read from this section on, he says, I have a fairly sustainable path for growth, the intersection and stepping into my continually changing better self, being more aligned with my true self.

• 01:51

  I would say this rocky road in quotes started as soon as I graduated from college and stepped into the, quote, real world.

• 01:59

  This might be more important for people in a different spot, but how do people do this without making big waves?

• 02:07

  Maybe there's a better path.

• 02:08

  And truth be told, I would like to make my future waves as gentle as possible.

• 02:13

  I think my family and peers deserve that.

• 02:16

  Would love your thoughts.

• 02:18

  This is such a common question.

• 02:21

  This is such a common thing that we kind of doodle on very often.

• 02:26

  When you start to get into the middle season of your life and you are in a long term relationship, you have more responsibilities.

• 02:35

  You may have kids or other dependents or just other people who are depending on you and looking to you to provide some semblance of stability and security, and you want to be able to provide that for them.

• 02:48

  Yet at the same time you want to continue to grow and to evolve and you have this deep yearning to be fulfilled.
